General Landuse: Metrotown Downtown Plan 2017

The land use framework is expressed in the following General Land Use Map, which reinforces and establishes Metrotown’s role as the City’s Downtown – an urban focal point for growth and development, employment opportunities, housing, arts, culture and entertainment, community services,  and amenities. The designations in the General Land Use Map feature a mix of land uses and building forms that collectively support the development of a complete and balanced Downtown.
